I've been wanting to check out Mastodon and a good app helps me be more engaged. My issue is that there are lots of interesting apps so I don't which one to pick! Which one do you like and why?
Android is preferred, but feel free to suggest iOS apps for others to use. Websites are also fine, but I'd like to install it as a PWA if possible.
Tusky is my current preference, but have tried Megalodon, Mastodon and Fedilab. I couldn't get with Fedilab, the font sizes in particular were never right.
Ich nutze Megalodon, ein fork der Offiziellen App, der noch etwas besser ist. Funktioniert sehr gut, wird aktiv entwickelt und war als ich vor einem halben Jahr alle Apps nebeneinander genutzt habe für mich die absolut beste Wahl, habe das aber nicht weiterverfolgt Der größte Vorteil von Megalodon ist/ war, dass man direkt auf den Lokalen feat zugreifen kann. Bei der Offiziellen App miss man dafür auf Suchen gehen, und dann 4 Mal nach links wischen
I find Moshidon and Fedilab to be the best on android and Mona and Trunks app on ios. On Linux I use Tuba and on Web I like multi column layout of Mastodeck.
I’ve been an Ivory Stan for a while, lol. But ngl, I’m starting to get itchy since updates have slowed significantly. Other apps have gotten lots of other QOL features, or he’ll even some basic features, in a much quicker time. But I’ve paid for Ivory already, and don’t really want to pay for another.
My options are more limited too cuz it’s a requirement for there to be some sync to a desktop app. Not too many others that do that (Mona is the first that comes to mind that is in “second” place for me).
Tusky is best for those who are newer to Mastodon. Visually it's very clean, straightforward to use, and largely free of bugs (it helps to have been around for so many years).
For users more familiar with Mastodon, I'd go with Fedilab. Despite a few bugs, it's the most customizable option, with so many features you can tweak to your own tastes.
Toot! for iOS. It lets you add servers you don’t have an account on, and then you can interact easily on that server with any server’s account you’re logged into. I have 2-3 accounts based on different things I’m interested in so my followers don’t get a complete mishmash from me if they don’t want to, and this setup makes it so easy for me to interact and browse as if it’s all the same account.
